Thanks again, Glen

What did you have before the install? Also, what do you use for boost control? Sounds about right for boost level, unless you run race fuel or alky injection.

You are right about the cracks; I welded the header up the day after I bought the car and I am fairly sure that there are no more leaks. The funny thing about it is when I had the Hypertech chip in there I was seeing 17-18 lbs of boost. I was thinking of putting the old chip back in it and trying it with the new injectors. If I get my boost back then you would think it would be chip related…right?

No, the chip goes with the injectors. The chip controls the stock boost solenoid duty cycle. We typically use a manual boost controller to control boost. Do you have a means of adjusting your boost?

I don’t believe so. I there another way to check the boost solenoid and or adjust?

Thanks for all of your help guys, I adjusted the waste gate as instructed and it is boosting to 15-16 psi now. It took four turns to get there. I am assuming my target is 17psi for my max boost level (that was identified on the chip). The spring on the waste gate is getting good and tight now too. I have the fuel pressure set at 48psi on the 60lb injectors with the vacuum off as well. Hope that is close to what i need. I will aslo take a look at your manual boost controller today too!

Can you guys recommend which ScanMaster is the best for my application?

There is only one unit called the Scanmaster. It is what we use and sell most often. Give Gerry a call, we should have them..
thanks,

I thought there were several versions of it. Scanmaster, Scanmaster 2.1 and the Scanmaster 3. I was wondering which one would be the best for me. Straighten be out if I am wrong! Thanks

Those are basically the upgraded units over the years. They all do basically the same thing, the higher the number the newer the unit.
